CakeWalk was the perfect band

This was my first time booking CakeWalk. Sky and the CakeWalk band put on a fantastic show, filled with energy and great music. They were friendly, helpful, and great at accommodating our program for the evening and letting our group know what they needed to make the night a success. I will absolutely have them play for us next time we are in Whistler.

Cakewalk was amazing. We were blown away with their talent. They were instrumental in creating a packed dance floor. They are able to play a wide variety of music from classic oldies to new music. It was also very convenient to have the band take care of the DJ services between the sets. We’ve had many compliments about the band from our guests. We highly recommend them.

We hired Cakewalk to play at our wedding. We were confident in our choice after meeting Sky in person and watching their videos online - but they blew us away at our wedding! Their energy and presence on the stage/dance floor was fantastic - they got everyone up and dancing. The band did a great job reading the crowd and playing music that appealed to each guest, they were professional and helpful. They helped us out with a speaker and played from our playlist for the ceremony, and started early when we happened to be ahead of schedule. We were flooded with messages the next day about how great of a time everyone had. You won't be disappointed if you hire these guys!

We thought Cakewalk did an amazing job at our wedding reception this past May. Kirk and the band were easy to communicate with, relaxed and lovely people to work with. They produce lively music that is fun and got the entire crowd on their feet (young - old). We were very very impressed as were all our guests as the band was able to feel out the crowd and deliver again and again with each new song. Thanks again for really making our wedding into such a memorable event!

We could wax rhapsodic about Cakewalk enough to fill a whole encyclopedia, but don't worry - we won't! Here's what you need to know:

1. The fellas are professional, friendly, organized, and a pleasure to do business with
2. Their energy and stage presence is AWESOME
3. They do a great job of reading the audience and getting everyone into the groove
4. Their repertoire is funky, varied, and fun; they played songs that had everyone at our wedding from 5 to 78 dancing all night
5. Oh, and on top of all that, they sound amazing!

We're considering getting married again just so we can ask them back ;)

Hire them. Cakewalk will take your wedding from "Well, that was nice," to "That was the best wedding I've ever been to!"

These guys were amazing! Professional and flexible (with some personal touches we wanted incorporated into the day) most especially Sky Wyatt. We had so many positive compliments from friends and family. And could not have been happier with them. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
